Amamapare is a port and industrial centre in Mimika Regency, Central Papua, Indonesia; National Geographic refers to it as a port town. Slurry containing copper-gold concentrate is delivered by three pipelines from Grasberg mine over 70 miles away. In Amamapare it is dewatered, filtered, and dried and then shipped to smelters around the world. There is a coal-fired power station at the port which supplies the Grasberg operations.
